Combination radiotherapy and chemotherapy in murine bladder cancer. 1979

T E Weldon, and E Kursh, and L J Novak, and L Persky

A murine transitional cell carcinoma tumor model has been used to evaluate the combined use of radiotherapy and three chemotherapeutic agents, doxorubicin hydrochloride (Adriamycin), cyclophosphamide, and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum. The preliminary radiation therapy evaluation demonstrated that the tumor is radiosensitive. The combined use of cyclophosphamide and radiation therapy was the most effective regimen, especially when the drug was started prior to radiotherapy. Cis-diamminedichloroplatinum and radiation were a lethal combination, but a synergistic effect was produced when the drug was given after completion of radiotherapy. Doxorubicin hydrochloride and radiotherapy may be synergistic, but more evaluation is necessary.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.
